Hey, @admin, I hate to ask, but is there something that can be done about these posts? They’re rather disturbing, and it doesn’t seem like they’re going to stop.

„Die Hoffnung ist unabhängig“
Wer spricht diesen Satz?
Die Hoffnung ist unabhängig
Sprechen die Satten
Die Hoffnung ist unabhängig
Sprechen die Besitzenden
Die Hoffnung ist unabhängig
Sprechen die Mächtigen
Die Hoffnung ist unabhängig
Sprechen die, die eine Sprache haben
So höre ich die Sprachlosen
und kämpfe gegen die, die versuchen uns die Hoffnung zu nehmen
indem sie sagen sie sei unabhängig
Marilou

Hope: the feeling that things can work out, despite the fact you don’t yet know the way, cannot see further than arm’s length in the thick mist that surrounds you, and don’t yet know where it is that you want to go.

Acreglock I can tell you’re altogether knowledgeable and widely read. You can probably provide a scholarly reference off the top of your head about a lot of topics. There seems to be a lot of Oxford U influence surrounding Bargeld and his admirers, too. The artist Baargeld attended, as did Priest. Which is funny because Baargeld and EN’s members are all German. Not one is a Brit. ???

Oxford or Cambridge ? …. ha you are reeling me into your web of intrigue 😉
